Comparative  Merits  of  Plate 
Mounting  Systems 

NUMBER  of  methods  and  devices  for 
ounting  and  registering  printing  plates  that 
ive  been  placed  on  the  market  of  late  years 
a sure  indication  of  the  need  of  improve- 
ent.  It  shows  that  the  methods  or 
materials  heretofore  in  use  were  inadequate 
or  unsatisfactory,  and  that  manufacturers  were  striving  to 
devise  something  better. 

The  multiplicity  and  widely  varying  character  of  the 
devices  offered  has  been  a source  of  confusion  to  many 
and  it  is  therefore  wise  to  analyze  the  whole  matter,  sifting 
the  good  from  the  bad — the  practical  from  the  impractical. 

All  will  agree  that  a perfect  plate  mounting  and  regis- 
tering system  must  possess  certain  essential  features.  It 
therefore  follows  that  the  system  or  method  which  possesses 
these  features  to  the  greatest  degree  must  be  the  nearest 
perfect,  and  that  the  best  devices  and  material  for  this 
particular  system  offer  the  best  means  for  mounting  and 
registering  printing  plates. 

Let  us  consider,  then,  the  essential  features  of  a perfect 
plate  mounting  system,  the  most  important  of  which  are — 

1.  An  unyielding  and  perfectly  even  base. 

2.  Absolute  and  individual  control  of  the  plates. 

3.  Speed  in  clamping  and  releasing  plates. 

4.  Rapidity  and  precision  in  make-up. 

5.  Narrow  margins. 

(>.  Rigid  support  for  the  entire  plate. 

7.  Strength  and  durability  without  unnecessary  weight. 

S.  Ability  to  make  up  forms  on  the  stone  or  on  the  press.

With  these  essentials  fixed  in  our  minds,  let  us  sro  over 
each  separately  and  see  which  system  embodies  them  to 
the  greatest  extent,  and  which  device 
or  set  of  devices  of  that  system  is  the 
most  desirable. 

1.  An  unyielding  and  perfectly  even 
base  insures  a quick  and  permanent 
make-ready  and  maximum  life  to  the 
plates.  With  a perfect  base,  the  time 
usually  required  for  make-ready  may 
be  cut  in  two,  and  a single  set  of  plates  will  often  answer 
where  otherwise  two  or  more  sets  would  be  necessary.  As 
the  time  consumed  in  making  ready  must  be  taken  from 
the  running  time  of  the  press,  it  is  virtually  lost,  and 

should  be  reduced  as  much  as  pos- 
sible. Nothing  will  do  this  so  effect- 
ually as  an  even,  rigid  support  for 
the  entire  plate.  Cast  iron  is  beyond 
question  the  most  rigid  and  durable 
of  available  metals  from  which  to 
make  bases.  It  is  stronger  and  more 
rigid  than  any  known  alloy,  and, 
unlike  soft  steel,  will  not  spring  or  distort  in  any  way  under 
the  heaviest  impression. 

2.  Absolute  and  individual  control  of  the  plate  makes  a 
perfect  register  possible.  All  guesswork  must  be  elim- 
inated. To  meet  this  requirement  you  must  have  positive 
means  for  moving  each  plate  in  any 
direction,  as  little  or  as  much  as 
needed;  you  must  know  for  a cer- 
tainty just  how  much  you  have  moved 
it;  you  must  be  able  to  hold  it  indefi- 
nitely in  the  desired  position.  There 
is  only  one  way  in  which  to  do  this, 
and  that  is  with  register  hooks. 

3.  Speed  in  clamping  and  releasing  plates  is  always  de- 
sirable, but  is  of  special  importance  on  short  runs  where

■ *tn 


frequent  changes  of  plates  are  necessary.  The  less  time 
consumed  in  changing  plates,  the  more  time  your  press 
can  run,  and  that’s  what  you  want. 

R a p i d i t y i n 
make-up  has  been 
claimed  as  the  one 
big  advantage  of 
grooved  beds, many 
printers  believing 
that  they  afforded 
the  quickest  possi- 
ble make-up.  Our 
recent  improve- 
ments in  register 


Cut  No.  4

ve  more 


| hooks  and  bases,  lioweve 
than  overcome  this  supposed  advantage. 

Narrow  margins  frequently  enable  you  to  effect  a very 
considerable  saving  in  paper  and  in  many  cases  are  ab- 
solutely necessary.  The  best  register  hooks  permit  much 
narrower  margins  than  can  be  obtained  in  any  other  wav 
and  it  is  generally  conceded  that  they  are  the  best  means 
for  holding  plates  for  this  class  of  work. 

A plate  rigidly  supported  at  all  points  not  only  insures 
the  quickest  possible  make-ready  but  also  the  most  per- 
manent one.  Herein  lies  a big  advantage  of  iron  bases 
over  grooved  blocks,  the  grooves  of  which  leave  a consider- 
able portion  of  the  plate  unsupported,  cut  the  underlay, 
and  in  some  cases  actually  ruin  the  plates. 

Strength  and  durability  are  essential  and  should  never 

be  sacrificed  for  lightness, 
however  desirable.  Bases 
made  of  alloys  are  somewhat 
lighter  than  those  made  of 
iron  but  they  are  also  much 
weaker  and  less  durable.  On 
the  other  hand,  grooved  beds 
are  just  as  strong  but  are  much 
heavier  than  hollow  iron  bases.  The  latter  form  an  almost 


Cut  No.  5 


ideal  base,  being  light,  extremely  rigid  and  practically  in- 
destructible. Strength  and  durability  are  just  as  necessary 
in  hooks  as  in  bases.  Register  hooks 
are  frequently  subjected  to  severe 
strains  and  rough  usage,  and  to  prove 
satisfactory  must  be  built  to  withstand 
hard  service. 

8.  Your  presses  must  print  to  earn 
money  for  you.  The  steadier  they  run, 
the  more  they  earn.  Hence  the  system 
of  mounting  plates  that  greatly  reduces  the  waiting  time 
of  your  presses  is  the  most  valuable  one  for  you.  With 
register  hooks  and  bases  you  can  make  up  forms  on  the  stone 
or  the  press,  as  you  prefer.  When  made  up  on  the  stone 
your  press  can  be  earning  money  for  you  on  other  work. 

The  foregoing;  facts  cannot  be 
refuted,  although  they  may  be  denied. 
These  facts  show  with  unmistak- 
able clearness  that  register  hooks 
and  iron  bases  possess  every  essential 
mentioned  to  a greater  degree  than 
any  other  system. 

The  facts  prove 

that  register  hooks  and  iron  bases  have  many  advantages 
over  any  other  system  for  mounting  and  registering  print- 
ing plates,  and  that  this  system  meets  more  completely 
than  any  other  every  requirement  of  printers  who  need  a 
quick  make-up  and  make-ready , absolute  register , the  nar- 
rowest possible  margins  and  positive  control  of  the  plate. 

Think  of  it 

With  register  hooks  and  bases  your  forms  can  be  made 
up  on  the  stone  while  your  presses  are  earning  money  for 
you  on  other  work — and  that  in  less  time  than  in  any  other 
way.

Your  forms  can  be  made  ready  quicker,  and  the  make- 
ready  lasts  longer,  in  fact  lasts  indefinitely.  Exact  register 

is  secured  in  a fraction  of  the 
time  otherwise  required  and  is 
easily  maintained. 

No  other  system  permits  such 
narrow  margins.  Plates  can  be 
released  and  clamped  more 
quickly  for  underlay  or  changes; 
plates  last  longer.  Type  matter 
or  mounted  plates  can  be  locked  up  and  printed  in  the 
same  form  with  the  bases,  frequently  saving  an  extra 
impression.  The  equipment  can  be  divided  and  used  on 
as  many  presses  as  you  like. 

If  you  print  from  plates 

you  want  the  best  system  for  mounting  them.  Indeed, 
you  want  more;  you  want  the  best  obtainable  equipment 
for  that  system,  and  that  means  Rouse  equipment. 

Rouse  Register  Hooks  and  bases  have  long  since  passed 
the  experimental  stage.  They  are  used  and  recommended 
by  many  of  the  largest  and  most  progressive  printing 
plants  in  America,  including  the  pioneers  of  the  three- 
color  industry.  The  managers  of  these  concerns  know 
about  all  that  is  known  on  the  subject  and  the  fact  that 
they  are  continually  sending  us  repeat  orders  for  register 
hooks  and  bases  is  the  most  convinc- 
ing evidence  that  they  are  the  best. 

Rouse  Bases  are  made  of  the  best 
gray  iron,  accurately  machined  to  the 
point  system.  They  are  as  light  as 
is  consistent  with  the  work  required 
of  them  and  are  practically  inde- 
structible. They  are  extremely  rigid 
and  will  not  spring  or  distort  in  any  way  under  the 
heaviest  impression.  They  present  an  even  and  unyielding

No.  0 Rouse  (Detail) 


Cut  No.  8— Combination 


surface  to  the  plate,  thereby  greatly  reducing  the  time 
otherwise  required  for  making  ready,  and  as  there  are  no 
grooves  to  cut  or  injure  the  underlay,  and 
as  the  entire  plate  is  rigidly  supported,  the 
make-ready  lasts  indefinitely,  in  many  cases 
being  saved  for  future  use. 

The  Unit  System 

In  the  unit  system  the  entire  form  is  composed  of  8x8 
em  units,  each  unit  of  space  being  occupied  by  either  a 
unit  base  or  a hook  and  its  justifiers.  This  system  does 
away  with  the  process  of  making  up  individual  pages  for 
each  plate.  With  the  unit  system  you  simply  lift  a unit 
base  at  the  proper  point  and  substitute  a hook  with  its 
justifiers,  obviously  the  work  of  an  instant.

Climax  Register  Hooks 

are  all  that  the  name  implies — the  best  register  hooks 
made.  They  are  absolutely  unequaled  for  narrow  margins, 
Avidth  of  jaw,  compactness,  strength,  durability  or  ease  of 
cleaning.  They  are  a simple,  sturdy,  common-sense  hook, 
built  for  and  able  to  withstand  the  hardest  and  most  ex- 


acting service. 

The  operating  mechanism,  travels  Avith  the  jaw  and  can- 
not be  covered  up,  hence  is  always  accessible.  This  en- 
ables you  to  maintain  the  minimum  margin. 


The  body  of  the  hook  is  made  of  hard 
drawn  brass,  and  a threaded  steel  bush- 
ing which  can  be  replaced  in  case  of  wear 
is  inserted  in  the  rear  wall,  as  shown  in 
cut  No.  3.  This  construction  permits  a 
finer  thread  than  could  be  safely  made 
in  brass,  thus  insuring  a finer  adjustment 
as  Avell  as  the  utmost  durability. 

The  jaw  is  made  of  steel  the  full  Avidth  of  the  body, 
offering  the  maximum  clamping  surface  to  the  plate.

This  effectually  prevents  the  jaw  digging  into  the  edge  of 
the  plate  and  destroying  the  register,  a common  fault  with 
other  hooks. 

The  head  of  the  screw  is  somewhat  smaller  in  diameter 

than  the  bore  in 
the  body  and  is  let 
into  the  back  of 
the  jaw  so  as  to 
leave  a thin  wall  of 
steel  between  the 
head  of  the  screw 
and  the  bore  in  the  brass  body.  This  intervening  wall 
forms  an  effectual  shield  to  prevent  the  operating  pin  from 
coming  in  contact  with  and 
thereby  scratching  or  burring  the 
bore  in  the  brass  body. 

The  recess  in  the  back  of  the 
jaw  makes  it  unnecessary  to  allow 
any  space  for  the  operating  pin 
between  the  back  of  the  jaw  and 
the  plate  next  to  it,  thus  permitting 
the  narrow  margin  of  eight  points.  Rouse  Unit  Base,  8x8  ems 

This  feature  is  illustrated  in  cut  No.  4,  which  shows  the 
proper  arrangement  of  the  hooks  for  minimum  margins. 

It  will  be  ob- 
served that  the 
jaws  of  the  two 
hooks  are  in  the 
middle  of  their 
| line  of  travel  on  a 
line  with  each 
other  facing  in  op- 
posite  directions. 

The  screw  is  of  hardened  steel,  and  is  keyed  to  the  jaw, 
as  indicated  in  cut  No.  5,  which  shows  the  screw  and  jaw 
disengaged  from  the  body  ready  for  cleaning.  The  whole 
is  for  all  practical  purposes  a two-piece  hook — the  very

The  Combination  Hook 

is  operated  with  either  ratchet  or  pin,  combining  the  speed

movement  of  nearly  four  picas, 
which,  in  addition  to  its  un-

Rouse  Universal  Blocks 


The  Rouse  Unluecsal  Block  is  the  simplest,  quickest 
and  best  scheme  for  mounting 
plates  ever  devised.  These  blocks 
have  many  advantages,  the  chief 
of  which  is  unparalleled  speed 
in  make-up.  Proof  of  this  claim 
for  speed  may  be  found  on  pages 


Universal  Hook  A-R 


12  and  13,  where  we  show  photographic  reproductions  of 
five  widely  varying  sizes  of  pages,  each  of  which  was 
actually  assembled  ready  to  lock  up  in  from  fifteen  to  fifty 


seconds,  or  at  the  rate  of  sixteen  pages  in  from  five  to 
twenty  minutes.  Can  you  match  it  in  any  other  way  ? 

The  Rouse  Universal  Block  not  only  offers  the  quickest 
possible  make-up  but  permits  the  work  to  be  done  on  the 
stone  while  your  press  is  running  on  other  work.  These 


blocks  also  insure  the  quickest  and  most  permanent  make- 
ready  as  well  as  unequaled  speed  in  changing  plates. 

The  hooks  are  extremely  rapid,  yet  capable  of  fine  ad- 
justment for  register  work.  They  are  simple  and  strong 
in  construction,  the  body  being  cast  iron  and  the  working

five  picas,  is  operated  with  a 
ratchet  (the  fastest  known 
means)  for  clamping  or  re- 
leasing plates,  and  with  a pin 
for  fine  register.  The  catches, 
are  made  of  brass  and  can 
not  possibly  work  up  on  the 
press.  Allows  a margin  of 
three-eighths  of  an  inch  between  plates.  Bases  of  iron. 
Point  system — of  course.  With  a single  set  or  font  you  can 

make  up  eight  pages  into 
about  160  different  sizes, 
ranging  from  17x25  up  to 
and  including  35x51  ems 
pica,  and  a less  number  of 
larger  pages  into  an  endless 
variety  of  shapes  and  sizes, 
all  with  a variation  of  two  picas  in  either  width  or  length, 
or  both  width  and  length. 

Price,  per  set,  including  steel  ratchet  and  dustproof 
case  that  fits  a printer’s 
stand,  only  $55.00.

Centl  emen:- 

Sone  time  since  v;e  had  occasion  to  use  a 
register  hook  for  a very  close  marginal  circular, 
and  purchased  your  Climax  Marrow  Margin  hooks,  and 
found  than  much  "cetter,  both  as  to  security,  rapid- 
ity and  ease  of  operation,  than  similar  hooks  we 
have  in  use.  If  we  have  to  add  to  our  equipment  of 
hooks,  we  should  use  yours  in  preference  to  any 
other  we  know  of. 

Very  truly  yours, 


Eui)t.  r.tg,  kept.  F

We  oan  find  no  fan It  with  70 nr  register  hooks, 
m our  press- room  we  have  In  ns©  ujxerds  of  12,000  register 
hooks,  the  majority  of  then  being  of  your  make,  and  we  oan 
safely  say  that  yonr  hooks  are  the  best  for  make-up  and  oloso 
margin,  and  stand  wear  and  tear  without  perceptible  decrease 
of  effeoiency. 

Very  truly  yours.
